[SLOF] RFC: cp codes

Hi,

I have long standing issue with SLOF. During start SLOF prints cp
codes with backspace:
https://github.com/aik/SLOF/blob/master/lib/libbootmsg/bootmsg_lvl.S#L61-L64

We start a VM and record log, this is fine. But then when we look at
the log through WebUI, because of backspace, Mozilla thinks this is a
binary file.

At devconf I discussed this with Thomas, and he proposed to use nvram
variable here. But it seems QEMU's --prom-env seems to be OpenBIOS
specific.

Any comments for bring --prom-env support to SLOF? Or are there other
options I can use,
to change libbootmsg behaviour?

Thanks,
Dinar
